Hi All,
Well, interesting times at my house………
Yesterday Dames had a work day, it was like a lunch that some big company put on, free lunch, free beer, at the races! Dames has always had a bet on the horses and as far as I know it was a little bit of money a week. Anyway, he took $200 with him (cause we aren’t saving for Fiji or anything!!!) and during the day was sending me photos of himself with some local celebrities and looked like he was having a blast.
I was going shopping last night and he rang me and asked if I could pick him up on the way home (it was 6pm by this stage) and he had been drinking for almost 8 hours. He was going to one of my gambling venues and I knew then that it would be trouble. He gets delusions of grandeur and was with some hobnob so I knew that he was being a bigshot and nothing good was going to come of it…..
Anyway, after the shopping debarcle (ive posted on RGs thread about that) he called me and said that he would catch a cab home cause I was taking too long, which was fine with me!
Fast forward to this morning, he was angry and I knew he had stuffed up. He told me that he left the races with the money he took (I am 100% sure that he would have won more but didn’t tell me) he then went to the slots, lost the $200, took another $200 out of our tax account and then took $100 out of our savings to get the cab home. Add that to the fact that he lost a days pay and that’s a $800 day!!!!!
He said he is done with gambling (im sceptical), he said that he was changing his phone because he cant access his racing account from that phone, I also added that perhaps he could give me the card that is attatched to that account (he can only spend what he puts in that account, no credit)
He didn’t offer me the card so I think that speaks volumes. I also don’t know if he has taken more out of the tax account so im going to get the card and get a balance. Ugh…..didn’t need this at the moment, not when we are saving to go away.
As for me, the whole thing makes me feel ill and hasn’t given me any urges. I knew this was going to happen, he cant help himself. Im disappointed but not surprised. Hopefully this will open his eyes.
He is working today. Im doing my grocery shop and staying close to home this weekend. I am, however going to have a look at a possible reception place for Breas wedding with her tomorrow. That should be fun, it looks magnificent!!! (im not thinking about the money!!!)
Have a great day my friends,
Love K xxxxxxxTo live, that would be a great adventure – Peter Pan
